The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life in Kansan, so it will be further than merely printing the news by standing for the views the University wants to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be kinder; to be wiser leaders; in all, to serve to the university; and to the students of the University.

MODERN HISTORY VERUSS
MODERN ENTERTAINMENT
University students have more time for intellectual pursuits than any other class on earth. Their business is to learn things, and to be well versed on questions of importance. Many of them let that business slump in a deplorable fashion, and are considerably better posted on "Mary's Ankle" the next dance or the latest achievement of Norma Talmadge than the peace conference, national politics or the constitution of the League of Nations.
If any period was ever history in the making, the present time is certainly that period. Things of universal moment are happening, and any person who even attempts to attain average intelligence, tries to keep track of current events, even if only in the laxest fashion.
Greek sculpture and the Renaissance period are important, but the fact that a student is learning something about these subjects does not mean that the present period is without significance for him. Any man or woman now in the University who expects to be an intelligent citizen of this country will spend some time with present-day activities. He cannot afford to do otherwise.
CITY HIDES VOTING POLLS?
Lawrence held its annual city election yesterday. Commissioners and other city officers were chosen, but most important of all, the people voted on the question of a new high school building for the city. An extensive campaign had been carried on by means of placards, posters, speeches and other means of publicity and Monday night the entire personnel of the high school was turned loose in the street to boost for the proposed building.
Tuesday morning, when several in intelligent and well-manning citizens in the second ward started to do their duty and vote for the bonds, they were unable to find the polls. They went to the place where they had been accustomed to voting, but no polls could they find. They searched about the block and finally made a thorough investigation of the neighborhood that would have been a credit to a Pinkerton or a Burns. On the point of giving up in despair, they accidentally found a person who was in on the secret and he volunteered to guide them to the hiding place. In the end, the polls turned out to be located in an out-of-the-way, tumbled-down shack, so well camouflaged that no one would have suspected what it was.
TRUTHFUL FOR A DAY
O.K. STUDENT
The painfully honest student was looking grieved,
"I called a girl up for a date," he explained, "and she said she had one, but was awfully sorry. Now that is all wrong. She is either a prevaricator or else she is going to have a rotten time at that dance with the unknown man she is going with."
And the logic of the painfully truthful student is irreproachable. Besides that, it applies to more things than the words of an "already-dated" lady. It holds good for every polite remark ever made.
But in the art of conversation, logic is not the only consideration. Politeness is based on agreeability, rather than on philosophy, and there is one sure test of its value. Imagine the world without it!
The painfully honest youth would phone the next girl on his list. "I have just been turned down," he would say, "by Mary Brown, so won't you go to the Varsity Friday night?" And the second lady would reply sweetly, "I have a date, too, and I'm mighty glad I have it."
Then he would ascend to the library to drown his sorrow; and there he would encounter the head of his department.
"How do you like my new course?" the professor would demand.
"I abbor it," he would answer, truthfully, forfeiting his credit in the same course.
So the world would go -- just about like the little cartoons of Bolshevik hat decorate the upper left-hand hand of Mutt and Jeff.
WHITMAN'S PROPHECY, OF TODAY
American readers have found prophets of today's world situation in Shakespeare, in Victor Hugo, and in various foreign writers, but an Englishman calls attention to Walt Whitman. Dr. C. W. Saleebey, writing to the London Times, makes an extract from Walk's "Years of the Modern." first published in "Drum Taps," in 1865, and asks, "Is not this indeed prophecy—the human utterance of the Divine?"
I see not America only—I see not only Liberty's nation, but other nations preparing;
I see tremendous entrances and exits—I see new combinations—I see the solidarity of races;
I see that force advancing with irre- sistible power on the world's stage:
(Have the old forces, the old wars,
played their parts" are the acts
that define them.
see Freedom, completely armed, and victorious, and very haughty, with Law on one side and Peace on tne other.
A stupendous Trio, all issuing forth against the idea of caste;
What historic denouements are these we so rapidly approach?
I see men marching and counter- marching by swift millions;
see the frontiers and boundaries of
the old extracranial brakes;
see the landmarks of European kings removed;
—What whispers are these, O lands, running ahead of you, passing under the seas?
Are all nations communing? is there going to be but one heart to the globe?
I see this day the People beginning their landmarks (all others give way);
The unperform'd, more gigantic than ever, advance, advance upon me.—Literary Digest.
The earth, restive, confronts a new era.
The perform'd America and Europe grow dim, retiring in shadow behind me.
Is humanity forming, en masse?—for lo, tyrants tremble, crowns grow dim;
A Georgian from up in the mountains came to town on his annual trip with a load of corn, several potatoes, and other produce. As he neared the city he saw the sign: "Speed Limit Fifteen Miles Per Hour." Prodding him did not work out, he unoffered "golly! I don't believe we can make it!" —Exchange.
"Now I understand what they mean
now. What's the apology?" - Louis-

"What does she say?"

When I was young and used to play
With girls, as any youngster would.

EXPERIENCE
While I've run round with Grace and May
Or take Charlotte to cabarets,
Or jazz with Flo;
My father always used to Dames were no good.
I've shimmied through the winter night.
And if you'd ask me, Boy, I'd say:
Father was right!
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN ENTOMOLOGY?
As To Your Future
Let these former K. U. students help you
Miriam A. Palmer, B.A.'03, M.A.
'04, now insect delineator and translator of entomology in foreign languages in the department of entomology, C.S.A.C., Fort Collins, Colorado, offers the following suggestions to students:
Special training for this work may be received by taking three or four years of training in the University of Kansas.
The following courses are good as a preparation for the work; entomology, botany, zoology, scientific drawing and lettering, Latin, Greek, German and French.
Scientific drawing on biological lines should be placed in the curriculum of the University.
Essential qualifications are patience in attending to fine details, exactness, willingness to accept criticism of work and to profit therby.
The salary is about the same as that of teachers.
Students may get into the work by the assistance of the professors in the department of entomology and by applying to a science teachers' agency.
THE WEARING OF UNIFORMS
It is interesting to note the editorial comment of the "Cornell Sun" on the propriety of wearing uniforms after discharge. Contrary to most people the "Sun" takes the attitude that ex-soldiers should immediately revert to their civilian status. It is its belief that in some inexplicable way the men are committing some socially annihilating breach of taste. That is, men, no matter what they have done, are to be prevented from the visible avowal that they had placed themselves in the hands of the military authorities with the willingness to serve—whether they served in the trenches or in a training camp. It is hard for us to see this lack of taste, and it is correspondingly hard to understand the demand for shedding. It would seem, that when men are given the permission of the government to wear their uniforms, it could be left to their own discretion as to when to change to civilian clothing.—Massachusetts "Tech."
Paderewski was paying a long visit to Britain during the vogue of a certain song, the refrain of which followed him everywhere. He never seemed to stir abroad without having the melody thrown at him, and whistlers looked at him strangely as they performed it.
One day he stopped an errand boy in the act of whistling the melody, "Tell me," said the pianist, "tell me the name of your wife and give it a crown."
SOUNDED PERSONAL
"Garn!" cried the skeptical boy, looking affirmed at him. "Who're yer kidding? Let me go!" "Not until you tell me," replied Paderewski. The boy suddenly wrenched himself free, crying as he disappeared in the crowd, "Git yer 'air cut!' It was some time before PADERewski understood that the question had been answered—Toronto Mail and Express
LET US HAVE PATIENCE
He was mad "clean through," a he himself said. He had spent two hours endeavoring to "frame up" a "pipe-" course, time that could have been well spent with Agnes. Then he had pursued elusive professors, trying, Oh, so hard, to get their approval of steps.
He was mad!

Then, priding himself on his ability to pick a snap course, he ran the gauntlet of the impersonal staff of asm
"You can't carry eighteen hours. See the Dean," said the rear guard of the registry line.
"How many more men must I tell not to bother me with this extra hour business, Enroll thru the regular channels."
So he went back, greatly humbled and crestfallen. Then came the deluge.
"You can't carry but one of these courses, for you haven't the prerequisites."
Then he got mad!
Bad as the I.W.W. agitators find this sadly governed country, many of them still strennously object to being deported to their dear old homelands—Boston Transcript.

"Is your place within walking distance of the cars?"
"I dunno," answered Farmer Cornell.
"How far karin you walk?"
A PEACEFUL REMARK
The mental ages of man are about three: First, when he does not think (sometimes terminated by graduation); second, when he thinks fairly exclusively of himself (sometimes terminated by marriage); and third when he thinks chiefly of his family (terminated by whatever ends his worries).
The colonel beckoned to his orderly,
"Smith, I wish you'd ride into the town and get the correct time."
"Why, sir," Smith hesitated, "I haven't got a watch."
"A watch! A watch!" the colonel roared. "What in the name of sense do you want a watch for? Write it down on a piece of paper, man."-- The Argonaut.
INVOLUNTARY
After coming in from a twenty-mile "hike" the officer in command of a negro company said, before dismissing them, "I want all the men who are too tired to take an armbearer hike to take two puces forward."
All stepped forward except one big, husky six-footer. Noticing him, the officer said, "Well, Johnson, ready for twenty miles more?"
They had spent the day in fishing during a cold, driving rain, and were returning with empty baskets and tired tempers. As they entered the village a large dog ran at them, barking furiously. One of the fishermen kicked it away carelessly.
"No sah,." replied Johnson, "Ah'm too tired to even take dem two steps."
—Everybody's.
ANY KIND OF A BITE
"I only wish he would," was the other's reply. "I'd chance almost anything to be able to go home and play." The title of the book "-Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph."
“Aren’t you afraid he will go for you if you do that?” asked his friend His companion looked sadly and sorrowfully into his face.
A man who works in New York, but lives in Brooklyn, has been lecturing his wife on the gentle art of music. He's a teacher of advanced, a really bright idea.
SAVING A NICKEL
Quite often the husband was not able to, get home in time for dinner at night. He told his wife that he would telephone her every day as to whether he could leave the office or not. Mrs. Benson was of a very thrifty disposition and the following was her solution of the problem:
"Sam, if you find that you can't be home for dinner, telephone me at exactly 6 o'clock. If the telephone rings at that hour I'll know it is you and that you are not coming for dinner. I won't answer it and you'll save your nickel." -Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
